[Collins] 30L-1 Parasitic Suppressors

The parasitic suppressors in my 30L-1 went up in smoke.  The resistors were
cooked / cracked.  I was operating 40 cw at the time, maybe 600 watts out to
a 50 ohm load (Butternut vertical, antenna tuner), tuned for "maximum smoke"
(yes, I see the irony!).  I am replacing the chokes, but is there anything
else I should check (eg - tubes) before applying power again?  I don't want
to cook another set of chokes by not addressing the root-cause.

Thanks,
Jeff
